I've lurked here forever but never really made a thread to detail all my activities. Since I am halfway through my most recent garage build I thought others might find it interesting so I should document it here. I am working with a 19x24 2 car subdivision garage with a 4x7 chunk cut out in the...

I am struggling with the electrical plans for my Atlas PRO8000EXT lift that I am picking up on Monday. According to the manufacturer this lift requires a 30A breaker. The photos and discussion with the vendor confirm the plug is a standard plug style that will work with any 15 or 20A...

I am planning to purchase a 4 post lift for my garage to allow me to stack my sports cars above a 2dr Bronco. I will be getting a Peak 407HP which will allow a lifting height that clears the Bronco with a car on the lift. My garage currently has a <10 foot ceiling but the trusses are 14' high...

I am 25 and my girlfriend and I closed on our first house on October 26th. We bought it because I found employment but it was 130 km away from where we were currently living. I started the job in May but wasn't capable of purchasing the home until the fall so in the mean time I would be...

I am posting this to try and get some advice from people who may have done this before or have more experience working with concrete. The situation is that we have two existing slabs. They are directly in line with each other and at the same height and have the same width (12ft). One shed is 8...
